The game is hard but i honestly love the style and fishing. I only started doing game dev for acouple of months ago but this had made me want to make a fishing game like this, I am sorry for waffling on but i am very curious on how the actual fishing mechanic works did you follow any videos or find forum posts on how to do this?
Looks really cool. What engine did you use? Was it written from scratch or just Godot?
we used unity! tho try contacting our programmer for further questions if u want :) his profile is linked in credit
Cool. Thank you!
Good fishing mechanics, there's no way I could catch the woman though, was way too hard for me
am i tweaking or this same game was published a few years ago?? i don't think it was 3D like this game though
we did a bunch of research and couldn't find any game exactly like ours, tho there's always a chance someone made it before us! :D
To be honest, I didnt understood what the story was telling me.
I read up and found that the story was explained in a tragic way.
It was short, but ok.
2/5 Stars
This game is NOT made for close-minded people. A very trippy horror game with a pretty sinister story. Great to dwell upon afterwards. Good stuff !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)This game is weirdly comforting hard to explain
For those who didn't catch that lumpy thing that shows up after the sea turns to blood. -> [It's a naked woman, her arms are cut off and her face is drooping.]
shit
why do you think so
The ending is too obscure and explains nothing, the world and ambiance are not scary because there is no world building, story or anything that would make me immersed.
The concept is well made but the execution is poor in my opinion.
we made it in 2 weeks to try out teamwork. in a team of 5 highschool students. thought i would mention that.
the ending, in my opinion (tho many people would agree) explains everying. i understand everyone can take away what they want and its obviously up to interpretation but it honestly looks like you didnt really care enouth to try understanding it.
but my personal opinion aside, how would you change the story, and ambiance? if youre throwing criticism at me id like to take some advice from it and improve.
it was immediately easy to understand in my opinion. i like that you actually try to piece it together yourself and then the ending totally solidifies what happened. well done, especially in youth! keep it up!
This is better than real fishing I swear I rather fish in this game than real life LMAO
I love the grafics so absolutly much, they're so oddly comforting and perturbing at the same time, truly a work of art
art director here - thanks a lot! I think the comfort might be coming from the retro graphics. what do you think? and thanks a lot, it means a lot to me :)
Hello, I played this game, and I really enjoyed it! Glad I got back to this, because this time I managed to beat it first try! Good work :)
Fun little game mechanics needs a lil work tho
that was great!
thank u! :)
Weird but very fun game
What a beautiful, bizarre and great game! Keep up the awesome work!
3d!? WOW!
What did the man do though? Did he hurt his kid?
SPOILER

he mistakenly thought his wife was cheating and possibly that the child wasn't his. seems he ended both their lives.

YEAH I COUGHT THE... don't want to spoilt it but now my wrist hurts
congrats!!!!! :D
what about Evening Tide?
weird and creepy like it
thanks!
Nice short game enjoyed it looking forward to play more of your games
Thank you!
i know this game is only 79MB and you gotta introduce some bit of challange but when the water turns red its almost impossible to catch a fish
you make little to no progress, you loose all of it when the thing gets out of the circle, and it always goes wherever it wants EXCEPT the circle
now if you have some hints and tricks, please, cuz i would really like to finish it, but like this it only pisses me off
It is easier if ur catching further away from the ship :)
im sorry mate but you made the leech and rock looking things drift way too far away
and im not even a random noob, ive managed to beat jevil,spamton,sans, 100% faith and many other things... and i cant catch the damn leech
like, i dunno if im missing something, maybe i jus need to buy a damn harder rod because it seems almost impossible if it drifts so much
That was sooo good
thanks a lot :)
how did you even managed to play it if the fish wont stay in the circle
I would literally never go fishing ever again. This is how much this game creeped me out.
I would just stay cozy in my own little home. Jokes aside this is such a cool game.
My favorite part is the UI and the ending.
It's amazing to think such a cool game can just be 79 mb in size
Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate that you liked the UI :)
thank YOU for making this game
thanks a lot! our sound designer did a GREAT job to build up the eerie atmosphere!
yoo this game was weird but pretty good dark and scary keep it up
This is legit one of the best games on itch I discovered it through watching let's plays of people in Youtube
creepy psychological horror game based around one of my favorite hobbies! very fun playing!
